THIS IS RARE AND IM GOING TO ADD A STORY FOR EVERYONE WHO GETS HERE TO READ ABOUT KEITH CLOSS I THINK YOU WILL LIKE.

THE T SHIRT IS A NICE NBA PROMO T SHIRT THAT WAS USED TO PASS OUT AT GAMES AND GIVE TO KIDS-- BIG KIDS WHO WEAR ADULT MEDIUM AND SOMETIMES THE TEAM WOUT AUTOGRAPH.. I WORKED AT THE SPORTS ARENA 40 GAMES A YEAR FOR THE LAST 3 SEASONS THE TEAM PLAYED THERE.

 I SAW THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A BASKETBALL COURT... CLOSS- WHO REPORTEDLY WAS LATER WAIVED FROM THE TEAM FOR LIGHTHING UP A JOINT IN THE LOCKER ROOM BECAUSE HE FORGOT YOU CAN'T SMOKE IN THE LOCKER ROOM ( RUMOR HAD IT AT THE TIME) WAS IN A GAME AGAINTS HOUSTON.

HE WAS 7 3-  AND CAME OUT OF NOWHERE  ( FROM BEHIND) TO BLOCK ONE OF CHARLES BARKLEY'S SHOT'S AND THEN YELLED " GET THAT S OUTTA HERE OLD MAN" AND STARTED TO LAUGH.... THE SPORTS ARENA WAS ... ABOUT 3000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP IN A ROOM MADE FOR 16K SO IT WASN'T HARD TO HEAR FROM WHERE I WAS STANDING.

ABOUT A QUARTER LATER BOTH OF THEM ARE IN THE GAME AGAIN AND THE CLIPPERS MADE A STEAL AND PASSED THE BALL TO CLOSS WHO LAZILY TROTTED TOWARDS THE BASKET TO DO A WINDMILL DUNK AND- OUT OF NOWHERE- CAME BARKLEY WHO PINNED  THE BALL AGAINST THE BOARD AND SCREAMED " GET THAT S OUTTA HERE YOU PUNK ASS B" AND THE ENTIRE ARENA BURST INTO LAUGHTER. IT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS CLIPPERS BALL AND THE HORN SOUNDED AND IN CAME SELDOM USED STOKJO VRANKOVIC  WITH A GREAT INTERNATIONAL CAREER WHO WAS LAUGHING IN CLOSSES FACE AND COACH BILL FITCH GAVE HIM A STANDING OVATION AND SENT HIM TO THE END OF THE BENCH.

JAN 27 1998.... JUST CHECKED.. I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IN A LONG TIME.. SO- THE DEFINITIVE FORMER CLIPPER- A 130 GAMES 169 BLOCKS AND INCALCULABLE WASTED POTENTIAL........ YEAH- ITS HIS AUTOGRAPH BUT THINK OF HIM AS THE RYAN LEAF OF THE 90'S NBA......... I EVEN HAVE A MEDIA GUIDE FROM THAT GAME THAT GOT SOME ROCKETS AUTOGRAPHS IN IT

LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED THE STORY- FIRST TIME I EVER TOLD ONE THAT LONG IN AN AD.. SO IF ITS ANNOYING LET ME KNOW AND ILL KNOCK IT OFF... I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF COMING UP WITH STORIES SO IF THAT SOUNDS GOOD LET ME KNOW THAT TOO

OH YEAH.... THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER HEARING OF CLOSS WAS WHEN A VIDEO APPEARED OF HIM ON WORLDSTAR TALKING SMACK IN THE PARKING LOT OF A CLUB AND GETTING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT KICKED OUT OF HIM BY A CROWD IN THE ERA WHEN PEOPLE SHOUTED WORLD STAR EVERY TIME THEY VIDEOED A CONFLICT OF  SOME SORT!
